2002 Kia Sedona Suspension Problems

“Loose front suspension. Failure has not happened, yet. Worried that the noises coming from the front of my vehicle will cause a failure on the road. Kia is aware of the problem but is reluctant to repair it. They know that all sedonas have this problem but as yet to come to grips with it.”

“Front end suspension was tight when new. Now the front end makes sounds as if something is loose and about to fall off or break. Dealer said it was normal! Other 2002 Kia Sedona's don't have that feeling in the suspension. I have read that other's have had their suspensions fixed by changing components such as struts, bushing, seals, etc. Kia knows something is wrong with the 2002's because test drives show the 2003's don't have that sound of shacking front end.”

“We have a 2002 Kia Sedona; we bought in dec of 2001. Within the first 6 months, the alternator,battery,ignition switch, had to be replaced, along with sliding doors falling off the hinge. I complained of a wind noise for the first year no one knew what it was. It went unfixed. Within a year the shocks, the struts and sliding doors had to be replaced. My air-condition went out completely guess what no more wind noise. And no longer under warranty. My rear wiper control went out. …”

“Consumer stated he experienced premature tire wear. He stated he was only getting 18,000 miles from a set of tires. He stated his first set of tires were the original ones and they wore out at about 18,000. Now he has sigma 15 rims and now they are wearing out at about the same amount of mileage.”
